This situation occurs because we had to break a packaging loop by moving a plugin from eclipse-jdt to eclipse-platform. Unfortunately, without invasive, fragile workarounds, the only way to fix this is to stop Eclipse, mv ~/.eclipse{,.bak} and restart Eclipse. Some user preferences may be lost and plugins you manually installed will be gone but you should get the RPM-installed plugins back and you'll be able to re-install anything you previously installed from within Eclipse. We apologize for this issue and are working on a more robust solution to ensure it never happens again. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 760454 ***
